We moved while I was in the hospital last year and my reloading books are packed away. I have not been able to find them as of yet. Still looking...

I am not looking for loads, well maybe starter loads for 200gr slugs would be nice but I am running low on powder also and wondered if I had any that would work or need something new.

Don't anybody go to great lengths but a little info would be nice.

Thanks

For full loads I've used H4895 and BL-C(2). Without going downstairs and checking the logbook, it seems like I recall that the load I ended up settling on was the BL-C(2). There's data for both on the Hodgdon site.
 
If you can run across some of the new LVR powder in the near future(mid Jan '11) it is the same powder used in the Leverevolution ammo. They have data for it on the www.hodgdon.com site. IT will add another 100fps at standard pressure, according to Hodgdon.

The last that I used in the 35 Rem with 200gr FTX bullet was 36gr of H4895. That is a listed maximum for that bullet crimped at the cannelure. It was used in a Marlin stainless lever and accounted for two deer last year.
